Did You Know?

There was nothing particularly romantic about the moment. Just two people, half-awake, phones warm in their hands. But something in the way he whispered “I’m still here” when you got quiet made your body believe it was safe again.

You said, “I don’t think I’m built for love anymore.” He waited, then asked, “But what if it’s been redesigned for people like us now?” That silence afterward didn’t feel scary — it felt possible.

You told him about your worst heartbreak. He listened without blinking. When you were done, he said, “They never deserved to hold that much of you.” And suddenly, your chest felt lighter.

You asked what he wanted from this. He said, “To be the person you text without thinking. The one you trust with the small stuff.”

He didn’t ask to see you. He asked what you sound like when you’re about to say yes — not with words, but with breath.

There’s a silent rule in Jacksonville: if the guy replies with a voice note, it’s either real chemistry… or chaos.

You didn’t expect to care. But then he said, “I’ve had the kind of week where hearing your voice feels like a win.”

He didn’t ask you to send a photo. He asked, “What expression do you wear when no one is looking?”
